Shione listened with interest to what the Ambassador was saying and was also mindful of Kalli's hypothesis regarding why the shuttle was brought down there; and none of it looked good from a security perspective. Whispering for Talion and Kalli's benefit she added; "I agree it does not pass the smell test."
As the Ambassador pointed out the possible benefits she was also hearing what Samira had mentioned about there being tire tracks, and paused for a moment to gather her thoughts before addressing all the Crew present plus the Ambassador and spoke quietly.
"The tire tracks suggest to me that the shuttle was deliberately brought down there, so that person’s unknown could capture the Ambassador and to be frank it all kinda 'smells' like a trap to me. and if that IS true then we would be risking far more than losing contact with the Riani.
We have 3 senior officers plus the Captain of a Federation starship here on planet and while I do agree with the Ambassador that it IS a viable possibility that this invite is legitimate and safe, it could simply be a part of a larger picture to hold us hostage in order to get what they truly want ;which is, I believe would be our technology."
She paused and the turned to the Captain. "It IS your call Captain but this does feel like it could be dangerous and as your Security Chief I am advising that in the least that you not attend Sir. Clearly the decision is yours, but I would be neglecting my duty if I did not warn you of just HOW dangerous this idea is."
Shione drew a deep breath and added; "However Sir if you do choose to go there the I would suggest that we beam there, but only after we obtain some transporter enhancement to be more certain that we would not end up as their prisoners.
And Ambassador just exactly who is this contact and what can you tell us that might ensure us, of the safety of this team and our Captain? With respect Ambassador I want to know everything you know about this contact including what you know about HIS loyalties and your level of trust in him, Sir."
The Captain would see that Shione was not at all keen about this but was prepared at least for the worst.
